Tarmac in Rathfarnham: What to Know

Sitting at the foot of the Dublin mountains, many Rathfarnham properties slope, so correct falls and drainage are critical to stop water pooling or running toward the house. We see a lot of mature gardens here where access and protecting existing planting need planning.

We work right across Rathfarnham — from Rathfarnham Castle and Marlay Park to the surrounding Ballyboden, Templeogue, Tallaght areas — and we'll travel to your property for a free site survey.

Tarmac driveways in Rathfarnham

Tarmac is a strong option for Rathfarnham's older bungalows and semis, where a practical, low-cost drive is the priority. It handles gentle slopes well, and a tar and chip finish gives extra grip and a rustic look on longer drives.

Water management is the main design point here. On a sloped site, rain picks up speed across tarmac and can pool at the bottom, against the house or the garage door. We set falls and drains so water is collected before it gets there and led to a soakaway inside your boundary.
